PH: (02) 6582 3393

The Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011 states “A person must not carry out a class of high risk work unless the person holds a high risk work licence for that class of high risk work”. This covers the activity of Dogging.

Dogging work means the application of slinging techniques, including the selection and inspection of lifting gear, to safely sling a load, or the directing of a plant operator in the movement of a load when the load is out of the operator’s view.

Before you can apply for a national licence to perform high risk work to undertake any dogging, rigging or scaffolding work listed below, a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) must assess your training, skills and knowledge using the relevant 'assessment instrument’ under realistic workplace conditions.

Content

In this course you will learn:

use the various types of ropes, slings, chains and accessories

calculate the safe working load (SWL) of any rope, slings, or chain to be used for lifting

assess the weight of loads to be lifted

safely sling loads of different weights and sizes

direct a crane or hoist operator in the movement of a load when the load is out of the operator’s
view

give the hand signals and whistle signals used for directing loads.

The weight of most loads to be handled will be printed on the delivery docket or marked on the load in some way. The formulas will help you in calculating the weight of loads. Do not lift if you cannot make a reasonable estimate of the weight of a load.
